Rising up to his feet, Nolan walked towards the barricaded entrance, but not without his dagger ready in his hands.
Cautiously, he used one hand to punch open the barrier, and the instant the rock fell, he slashed forward with all of his energy.
VROOOOOOOOM!
The sound of the air being sliced into two rang out powerfully, but Nolan's dagger attack met with nothing but air—there was nothing in front of him.
With a cautious eye, he scanned the surroundings and was slightly shocked.
Right now, the world before him was a world of pure white snow, with the pine trees having been covered by snow. Even the rocks nearby had been totally covered, and in the air, small gentle flakes of snow could be seen raining down to the ground from the sky in twos and threes.
It was an incredibly beautiful sight, even though the forest no doubt held its own dangers.
[A beautiful morning it is...] the system said to Nolan, who couldn't help but nod.
